We Lost Her She is very tired, sad and heartbroken She decided she won't be forgotten again Looking across the harbor at the lights A rainbow claimed this remarkable sight Everything glistened and made her eyes cry It must have been willed and heavenly planned After lingering a bit it was time to move on She had to say goodbye to so many tonight As she walked, the cars went driving by She passed the trees and houses near by Funny thing is no one seemed to notice 121 miles is a long long way to go A mist appeared along the edge of the road She knew who they were and why there They came to tell her goodbye and farewell She reached and smoothed the big black wall. Stopping to say thank you to Abe George was always a straight-up guy Those along the way cried out of disbelief. How could this time cause so much grief. They said goodbye to her and cried for her. They sighed for her their souls loved her. They did their best for her and tried for her. They were blessed by her and remembered by her Why has it come to this on such a beautiful night She has one more very important stop to make That piece of parchment belongs to her Nearing the building, she reached inside Now she can finally say goodbye. The last road was the longest and saddest of all. She began to fade away to the naked eye Still surrounded by the mist of the dead In front of the big lawn with fencing around She fell to the ground breaking into many pieces. All that was left whole was her hand holding The parchment, even it was turning to dust How long will it take before anyone notices? Who will feel the crushing blow of letting her go? What should we have done to stop her pain? How about the fact we took her for granted for so long? 40 lines YellowRose |
